There's a lot of us socal guy that runs our wheels all year long. But if i had to deal with the harsh winter weather like other states, I would take my wheels off.

I get to roll VIP wheels about 7-8 months outta the 12. Nebraska will salt the heck outta the roads to melt snow so its a catch 22 for me. Either theres standing snow where I wont have traction with my tires, or theres no snow, but tons of salt covering the ground that Im afraid will hurt my rims :-[ Its a no win situation for me between Oct-March. (depending how harsh the winter is, I might getta keep them through all of October into Nov, and put them back on in Feb) Sucks, but thats life when you live in the interior snow belt. :'(
It doesnt help that my car is my daily driver, and all I can do is put steelies/snow tires and jack up the coilovers.

I agree with v8 as the only time I drive my car is to visit him or hangout. :2funny: :'(

One of the benefits of living in Australia. It was a cold winter this year... I think it got down to 5 degrees one night..

But i do take the rear wheels off for long (>500km) drives

[EndlessNA1]

I do.

[callaghan.]

it all depends on your location. obviously if it snows, you hopefully dont drive the car at all, and if u do the wheels def come off. low RWD sedans = horrible in the snow, traction or no traction. i got caught in 3 inches of snow in my bagged GS and couldnt make it up my hill that i normally have no problem with.

Yah i do agree. it depends on where you live and your road/weather conditions. Over here in the Bay Area (where we hyphy and go dumb. J/p) weather is very mild year round. so most people keep their after market wheels on their cars year round

i live in pennsylvania, and ya i take the wheels off, well actually i'm selling them cause there really not what you would call the VIP look.

but i was just curious as to how many ran them all year around especially in japan.

[allstar]

texas. so all yr long.

Victoria.* Nope.* *

We usually don't get any snow, but I don't feel like trying to keep them clean all through winter when it is raining 3-5 days a week here.* * I put on some 350z touring wheels on until spring.

[hipermax_d]

i just had to put my works away because it snowed quite a lot yesterday :'( :'( :'(
i forgot how ugly my car looked with 15" stockers ＿|￣|O

[RASRX7]

i do..but we dont get too much rain or snow in socal.. ;)

[Zar]

I roll year round with them.

That's the benefit to living in cali.

My only concern is areas with horrible roads.

[dilemma]
